I have been having issues trying to get my Samsung Universal Remote to control everything within my home theatre. Here’s what I got…

-Samsung Frame TV (pre-2022) -NVIDIA Shield -Cable Box -Xbox -Philips Lightstrip -Philips Hue Sync box -Soundbar

The Shield, Cable Box and Xbox all run through the Sync box which is connected into HDMI1 of my TV.

Ideally, I’d like to be able to do the following with the remote… -turn on the TV -turn on the devices -change channels on cable box -change the sources connected to the sync box -control the brightness of the lightstrip -turn on sync mode on the Sync box -turn on soundbar and control volume

Based on trying to set this up on the TV combined with the Sync Box app I don’t believe I can do all of this but I continue to have issues setting up most components because everything runs through the Symc box and my TV doesn’t recognize the device and isn’t populated in the list of model numbers when I search. I can get little bits to work here and there but not near as much as I’d like to.

-Does anyone with a Samsung TV and similar setup have any advice OR -Is there another Universal Remote out there that I could use to program everything that I hope for a universal remote to do?

Thanks for your help!
